“You can't take any team lightly in the playoffs. That was a heck of a game last year, and we were just fortunate to come out with a win -- and they have four of their five starters back.”
“I would imagine that, with four out of the five starters back, nothing much will change. They're aggressive, they're well-coached and it's going to be a challenge.”
“We have some girls who played last year, and I think experience in the playoffs can be a positive factor. I think at this time, you just worry about who's playing that evening and who's playing well and, just because we've been there before doesn't mean anything for that evening because, whoever plays better is going to go on.”
“This was a good sign of an experienced, veteran team and a focused team. They jumped out on us, they were doing some things. But, every time they would answer, we would answer, and I think we just had the last couple spurts.”
“They were looking to pressure us and they were looking to attack us offensively. The thing that they did really well in the first half was hit their shots, so I was really pleased (near) the end of the first quarter to be tied.”
“I thought that, once we got back into what we needed to do, I thought that we could get back into a flow. We got some steals and some turnovers that got us back into our rhythm and our tempo.”
“Out of those eight looks, I don't think many of them were forced shots. The biggest thing was that they weren't falling and, to be honest, I was looking up at the scoreboard and thinking we could be down a lot more.”
